Walking Wake#1009

Its strongest point is Sp. Atk — higher than 93% of species. In base stat total it is among the strongest — higher than 94% of species. It does not evolve: it does not come from anything and does not change into anything. In defense it has 2 weaknesses and 3 resistances at its disposal. It cannot breed — it has no Egg Group, so you will not get it from breeding. Very hard to catch — bring plenty of Poké Balls and something that puts it to sleep or paralyzes it.

Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Sp. Atk.

A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Sp. Atk, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.

Which nature to choose

It hits specially: its Sp. Atk (125) is 42 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.

  • Timid +Spe · −Atk Its Speed is higher than 91% of species — ten percent more lifts it past some of the benchmarks that decide who moves first.
  • Modest +SpA · −Atk If you already outspeed what you want to outspeed, those ten percent are better spent on hitting power.

A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.
